REMUNERATION OF FRUIT TREES.
Old fruit and forest trees can be
renovated by digging a trench four feet
in width and three feet deep around
the tree. a ball of earth is left direct
ly around the trunk of the tree, con-
tanning the main foots. In this trench
put soil, with liberal allowance of
manure, refuse from a blacksmith's
forge and some potash, and have them
all well mixed together. The effect
Will be to clothe the tree with the
luxuriance and yigor of a young tree.

LIQUID MANURE.-It Is chiefly in
the summer time when plants are In
active growth that liquid manure Is
applied to them. 1t is a mistake to
give plants that are not well rooted
much OF it, but when they have plenty
of roots, and are growing freely every
where, 1t is very beneficial; but as
liquid manure is often a scarce and
always a valuable commodity, it should
be used In such way as to secure the
best possible return from it. In the
case of plants in pots when they have
many roots they are always apt to be-
come quickly dry in hot weather, and
many of them are often so dry that
when the water is gwen them a large
quantity OF it passes through the soil
and runs to waste
1t is a mistake to allow manure water
to be wasted in this way, as it does the
plants little or no good. The most
economical and advantageous way OF
applying it to all plants in pots Is TO
make the soil and roots wet with clean
water first, and then water with liquid,
as the moist soil retains all the best
properties of the manure. and this is
the point to secure. This rule also
holds good in the case OF fruit trees OF
all kinds, and vegetables as well.

French Fashions Years Ago.

1t appears that the rage for gaudy
mi6ds and iS%efy sISssssse IL tse IS i';SS one ST
the outcomes of the present century to
which the fashions OF times past form
striking contrast. This is we'll set
forth in work on "Les bourgeois
d'Autrefois, by NJ. A. Babeau in which
the author describes at great length
the fashions of the middle classes. In
the seventeenth century, he says,
scholars were easily recognized by their
dress, which differed from that of the
merchant and nobleman. People of
the lower middle classes had, as q rule,
three suits of clothes-one for winter,
another for summer, and O third for
mourning. The different suits were
put on at certain date each year; their
summer garments were worn from Nav
10 to the end of October, and the rest
OF the year winter dress was worn.
Mourning was always worn for several
years. Every suit was first worn on
one side, then turned, and finally it was
cut up for ga ments for children. The
sword, originally only worn by mobiles,
was soon assumed by the middle
a. G6t SsSa' as ali n oqHXetta etafAfr BIT Rgg HgGsssafy
weapon. On the whole, the middle
classes were very modest in their APP
parel, with the one exception that their
wigs were very expensive. The coiffure
of women was mostly more sensible
than that of men. At the time of Nine.
de Sevigne and Nine. Pompadour no
high chignons were worn by the women
of the people, but the hair was simply
arranged under caps, bows, or hoods.
The colors mostly worn by these classes
were brown and gray, and even shortly
before the revolution no woman from
the provinces dared to wear white rib
bons, and even colored ones were
looked upon as eccentric. At the age
of 40 the woman assumed matronly
dress, avoiding light colors and q
youthful cut to her dress. AS char
acteristic of the last two centuries M.
Babeau points out that mems dress
was much more costly than women's,
and that, contrary to our present sys-
tenn, the wealth of family was dis
played in the husbands or fathers APP
parel.

Something About Dolls.

Dolls are by no means modern in
vention. Dolls of baked clay, of wood,
and of other things, have been found in
Egypt, in tombs, where they have lain
buried since before the time of Christ.
Dolls are now much more carefully
made than they were in former times,
and great deal of skill is needed in
their manufacture. In the little town
Of Sonneberg, in Germany, hundreds
OF thousands of dolls are manufactured
every year. Most of the dolls are made
out of papier mache, but many fine
ones are made with wax or china heads.
All dolls of the same size which have
like faces are made in one mold, and
there have to be as many molds as
there are different kinds of faces. 1t
Vssiase tLi.tJ "a fvIUy p0rsvHs W muhv -
single doll, as each workman does only
one thing.
In Japan, children have every year
what is called "feast of dolls" This
is held only on one day of the year, at
which time all the dolls that have be-
longed to the family are brought out
from the safe places where they are
usually kept, and put upon tables with
many kinds OF playthings. Sometimes
there are more than hundred dolls,
some of which are dark with age, for
often dolls two hundred years old are
shown at this feast. They are dressed
in all sorts of ways, some like court la
dies and gentlemen, and some like COM
mon ladies and gentlemen. Some of
these dolls are very small, and some
are as large as little girl. The feast
of dolls lasts only one day, yet the toys
are shown for many days.
Dolls used by Last Indian children
are very different from any in this
country. They are made of wood
painted with different colors. Each
doll has baby in its arms, and is fixed
to wooden block so that it can stand
up, The clothes are only painted ones,
its arms are not jointed, and the only
thing that can be taken off is the head,
which is fastened into the body with q
peg. Common wooden jointed dolls
are made mostly in Germany by poor
people, who whittle them out by hand.
